Order of the Red Star, Type 6, Variation 3, Sub-variation 4 ("MZPP"), #2074558, circa early to mid-1945 issue.
Silver, enamels; measures 46.5 mm in height, 48.6 mm in height; weighs 31.4 g without the screw plate. This relatively scarce variation was manufactured at the Moscow Platinpribor Factory (MZPP); the order is from the second MZPP series which was manufactured in 1945 and has the serial number range from 2050000 - 2300000. It features characteristically sloppy serial number engraving and a very small font of the "Monetnyi Dvor" mint mark. The "extension" of the soldier's bayonet in the center medallion "punctures" the inner ring of the medallion, nearly reaching to the letter "O" of the last word of the slogan.
Very fine condition. The enamel shows a nice luster. There is only a single tiny surface flake at the tip of the lower right arm, a light scratch along the middle of the same arm, and a few minuscule contact marks elsewhere that are barely noticeable. There are no penetrating chips or repairs.
The center medallion has a few dings and a moderate amount of wear to its highest points, but its raised details remain well defined. The screw post is full length, nearly 12.5 mm, and includes an original WW2 era screw plate.
